Re: more stars in the sky than grains of sand on every beach
infinite space doesn't mean infinite stars.
the thing with star formation is that it isn't an instant effect, nor do all stars go nova to release matter to reform as stars. as i asked before, what are you going to take as being stars? are stars the actual bodies of mass or do you count the points of light that we see? same thing goes with sand. how big are you going to go before you call it a pebble/stone/whatever? how small before it is dust? is sand becoming dust quicker than stones becoming sand? oh god..... i just re-read what i typed and i am getting way too anal about this.

Re: Re: more stars in the sky than grains of sand on every beach
This isnt really that difficult to figure out. In fact if you were so inclined with some simple density measurements you would easily be able to figure out that if you had one grain of salt for every star in the milky way galaxy (our galaxy which is only one of hundreds of billions) you would have enough salt to completely fill an olympic sized swimming pool. Personally I can easily immagine a couple hundred billion of these pools out matching the amount of sand on nothing more than the beaches on eath.
